Moodymann is putting out a Dilla vinyl in a few days called 'Lost Tapes'. From the sound of the snippets it feels like one of the old 'beat tapes'. My feeling with posthumous Dilla releases is that they should be left untouched and if they ever do see the light of day.

Call me crazy, but I think once a producer dies his beats should be off limits to everyone. Just for the simple fact that they are no longer around to give their approval or disapproval.

Agreed.

It's seems so trite to me when I see rappers/producers using his name and the Donuts popularity to gain attention for their own project.

If you're stuff is that quality, someone will find it without you having to name drop, spam, and promote like crazy. Personally, I am immediately turned off when I see "(_____ Inspired Beat)" or something else of that nature. I've seen instrumental projects straight being sold using Dilla's name and I've even noticed people jack his nicknames and use them as their own...

i've seen footage of them here up in Boulder, with fans showing them like Madvillain LP's for them to sign and watched Tyler bug out over seeing it...so it's pretty obvious they're aware of ST's label, and i don't even think i have to speculate if they're aware of the Yancey. so then the next question is, how do they justify doing stuff like this? it's not just a 'little' thing, he like just bragged on his last single about how he made a quarter-mil off of socks.
